Highlights
Pet care experience
Friendly dog walker next door!
I have had the wonderful experience of growing up with dogs! They were always my best friends when I was young. Since then I have spent the 6 years volunteer fostering over 20 different dogs to help find them homes. I have had the pleasure of working with all types of dogs from all different backgrounds with different needs and I'm comfortable with all ages! I am also happy to work with your dog on training exercises, and on leash and off leash practice. When not with your pup I work in Northern Virginia selling wine and absolutely love it, it also means i get to work from home 50% of the time! I believe everyday should be different and exciting. I’m looking forward to adding your pup to our pack and exploring the city!

Safety, trust & environment
I live in a larger apartment with easy access to a dog park on site. My boys get fed 2 times a day and receive a long walk in the morning and evening and 2 shorter walks throughout the day. Occasionally we’ll supplement a walk with a trip to the big dog park close by!
Ratings and reviews
This was our first time using someone outside of family to watch our Golden Retriever, Lucas, so naturally we were a bit nervous going in. But from the very beginning, Anna completely put us at ease. She handled the meet-and-greet perfectly—asked all the right questions, paid close attention to details, and showed a genuinely warm and thoughtful personality. Lucas connected with her right away, which meant a lot to us. While we were away, she was an excellent communicator. She sent regular updates, detailed notes, and happy photos that reassured us everything was going smoothly. It made the entire experience feel easy and completely stress-free. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again, and honestly, we won’t be looking for anyone else. Knowing Anna is there makes us feel much more comfortable traveling and leaving Lucas in good hands.
Anna is so wonderful with Darling!! It's the perfect break for her with a walk, play time and cuddle!! I feel so fortunate to have her check in on long days.
Anna was awesome and the dogs loved her!
Anna is wonderful with our dog!
Anna is AMAZING! My dog Mylo isn’t the biggest fan of long walks, but Anna always makes sure their 30 minutes together are fun and meaningful. Instead of forcing a long walk, she finds other activities that Mylo enjoys so he still gets exercise, stimulation, and attention. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with and takes the time to understand their personalities and needs. I always feel confident knowing Mylo is in such patient and caring hands. If you’re looking for someone who truly spends quality time with your pup, Anna is amazing!
"I can't say enough good things about Anna! My friend's dog, Mylo, is in the best hands. He's an overweight dog who needs specialized care, and Anna really knows her stuff. She understands how to safely and effectively exercise him to help him lose weight. What's even better is that she's also been teaching Mylo's elderly owner, Ellie, how to continue his care and exercise routine. It's been a game-changer for both Mylo and Ellie. Highly recommend!"

Schedule
I work from home 50% of the time so I’m able to maintain a routine and take regular walks with the pups! We also make regular trips to the dog park, and love doing doggy happy hours. Your dog will be treated exactly the same as I treat mine!

- I dont have any breed preferences, but I would like to know how your dog gets along with others, people and fur people. My dog Carter does have a harder time getting along with non-neutered males, but there can be exceptions to this as well.
